It has been just over two years since the status quo that prohibited student-athletes from benefiting from their name, image and likeness, or NIL, changed.
To date, over 30 states have passed their own laws governing NIL in collegiate sports. While student-athletes receiving compensation for their efforts is on its face a welcome sign of progress, the current NIL landscape is posing a serious threat to the long-term sustainability of college sports. And Congress is starting to take notice.
Because there’s no federal NIL standard, states are in a race to the bottom with laws that create a patchwork regime to game the system and turn a blind eye toward blatant pay-to-play arrangements. Congress alone has the ability to pass national NIL legislation that creates uniform standards for each university, provides transparency and accountability for collegiate recruiting, and safeguards the long-term viability of the Olympic sports at the bedrock of collegiate athletics and for the tens of thousands of athletes who build their academic and athletic careers around them.
